Powered By TripAdvisorAn Iconic and Lavish Venetian Hotel With Private Dock and Rooftop Lounge
Powered By TripAdvisorWith stunning views of the city's famed canals, Splendid Venice Venezia - Starhotels Collezione is as much a journey through Venice's history as it is the hotel's. Weaving together two 16-century townhouses to create a single, masterful property, the hotel features historic throughout, including the intimate, old-world Levantine parlors that make up the lobby, while rooms and suites have been reimagined to evoke classic Venetian glamour with a modern edge. Centrally located off a quiet canal steps from St. Mark’s and the Rialto Bridge, the hotel offers guests the relaxed laid-back atmosphere of a private residence with the service of a luxury property. Highlights of the hotel include:

- A top-floor terrace offering sunset drinks overlooking the city's tiled rooftops
- A glass-roofed, sun-dappled courtyard restaurant serving traditional Venetian dishes
- Easy access to the city’s waterways with gondola rides from a private dock
Admire unparalleled views of the city from the rooftop, before venturing out onto the canals. Once you’ve finished exploring, contemplate the waterways from your room or while sampling authentic Venetian fare at the in-house acclaimed restaurant, Le Maschere.

Very good!

Well located hotel recommended to me. Service was very good, very nice room (suite); some decor / maintenance issues require attention. Complementary Prosecco, Chianti and water. Turn down service. Staff are helpful. Good selection of in room toiletries. No cheap but you get what you pay for!
Website navigation for modifying or canceling in too difficult

I am not sure I will book with Star Hotels again because it is nearly impossible to find my reservations on their website. Modifying a reservation is almost impossible. This make is tough when traveling. Customer Service responds but takes a while and by that time it is too late. Even if you are able to cancel in time, being able to do that is very difficult compared to Booking.
Great hotel with outstanding location

We arrived by train into Venice after dark and was met by a water taxi. The taxi took us down the Grand Canal and through a couple of small canals directly to the hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our room was on the small side, but very comfortable. From our location, it was a easy walk to the St Marks Square and Rialto Bridge. The hotel had a very good breakfast buffet (a little expensive) or you could order la carte. The first night we ate in the restaurant and had a great pasta dish. They were also helpful in arranging dinners at other nearby restaurants. Great hotel.

Not so splendid
Tue Dec 31 2024 22:25:36 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Petra M
Rooms are spacious but food and service is terrible. The lady at checkin was nice but rest of the staff seemed over worked and tired. The breakfast buffet was frozen food re-heated. Concierge could care less to help with any suggestions for restaurants options nearby. Will never stay here again!
